Rank: Best Chicken Nuggets from 6 Fast Food Chains

Rank: Best Chicken Nuggets from 6 Fast Food Chains

  • We tried chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A, KFC, Burger King, Wendy’s, McDonald’s and Taco Bell.
  • The nuggets from Chick-fil-A and KFC were similar in texture and size, but significantly different textures.
  • Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken Nuggets stood out for their crunchiness and innovative sauce flavors.

Before the chicken fillet became the spiciest fast food must-have, there was the humble and hearty chicken nugget.

Its small size made it the perfect side dish, after-work snack, or as millennials will remember, the perfect drunchie (drunk munchies).

One way fast food brands can capitalize on chicken’s current popularity — particularly among Gen Z diners — is to start small and add nuggets to menus.

Taco Bell, best known for its Mexican-inspired tacos and burritos, tested a chicken nugget launch last year and didn’t serve fried chicken until then. But this week, the chain officially entered the fried chicken market with its limited-time Crispy Chicken Nuggets, available nationwide beginning November 19th.

To test the brand’s newest menu and see how their nuggets compare to chains that have been serving them for decades, we tried and compared chicken nuggets from six popular chains.

Here’s ranking the fast food chain’s six chicken nuggets, from our least favorite to our most popular.
